Re: 40K8th troop (transport) skirmish

SENARIO: Square Block Warfare
Warfare spills over from the truce failure and into the surrounding blocks of buildings.

Players: 4 individuals

Play Area: 4'x4'

Materials: Four sets of four 8"x8" virtual 3D buildings with one 2" door in the center of one side of each building. All of the virtual 3D buildings have a ground floor and a virtual roof, but no virtual floors nor any crawl cavern. In effect, all of the virtual 3D buildings are basic 1-story buildings.

Set-Up
The steps in the set-up are as follows:

#1: The players roll to see who goes 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th. The players arrange themselves in clockwise order of 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th around the playing area.

#2: Each of the four players takes one set of the four sets of four 8"x8" virtual 3D buildings.

#3: Each of the four players separates their units into four groups using the "Unit Grouping" rule.

#4: The players divide the 4'x4' playing area using the "4'x4' Grid Division" rule. The players partition four 4-building blocks of attached building slots on the playing area as follows:

#5:
The 1st player selects which block of the building blocks to populate with buildings.

Each of the four players performs the following by starting with the 1st player in the clockwise order:
- Use the "4+ Item Selection" rule to select one of their buildings.
- Select any empty building slot of the selected block.
- Place the building on the building slot.
- Orient the building such that the door faces away from the attached buildings in the block.
- Use the "4+ Item Selection" rule to select one of their groups.
- Place the selected group inside the selected building. Placement may include the occupation of the physical stairs by an unit.

An example of the population of a 4-building block of attached building slots with buildings is as follows:
